Mount Rainier is an active stratovolcano 45 miles southeast of Tacoma and 60 miles south-southeast of Seattle. Its last eruption was "a light dusting of ash" in 1894, the USGS said in a report. Large eruptions haven't occurred for more than 1,000 years.

A rock climber was rescued by a New Hampshire Army National Guard helicopter after falling about 60 feet on Mount Washington, authorities said.

I just made a mistake on a move towards the end which caused my feet to slip and fall,” Lukas Lamb-Wotton told the Globe after he was airlifted to a hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.
